OPPORTUNITY | EOI in Arcade Assembly | Shopfront

An opportunity to work on a project/network with artists and get a small travel stipend and free rehearsal/workshop space?
Awesome… especially with the Sydney Fringe coming up – especially with the cost of real-estate in Sydney!!! Check out this letter from Shopfront inviting artists to assist in the delivery of Shopfront’s major Project Arcade Assembly:

Dear Artist Friends of Shopfront,
Shopfront is seeking up to 8 performers to help us deliver the project Arcade Assembly to schools and Outreach participants.
WHEN: 18 & 19 August (training), 22-24 August (Schools Shows – see exact times below).
WHAT: Arcade Assembly is an interactive maze, made up of simple hand operated games and mini booth experiences in which the audience step in and play games, and in the process they build a profile for their pocket avatar and make a friend (see images: projects.shopfront.org.au). It is an integrated project that offers arts workshops to young people from all over Sydney, including young refugees, migrants and YP excluded from mainstream education. The event combines in a joint creation with over 80 young people contributing their artworks and ideas.

Shopfront have a performance team for the evening shows made up of mostly young and emerging artists (aged 14-25yrs) and we are seeking a daytime performance team of 8 confident emerging artists to run a simpler version of the work for Shopfront’s Outreach schools partners.

Training and induction would take place on Saturday 18 & Sunday 19 of August 2-6pm,
